A new epic fantasy by National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance to lose his dream forever.

What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?

The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries--including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? and if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?

In this sweeping and breathtaking new novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.Welcome to Weep.

I remember last year when we had to wait so long for the cover reveal for Stalking Jack the Ripper and how the release kept getting delayed, but not this year! I love everything about this cover, especially how the buildings are within the skirt of the dress. It's just brilliant!

It's no secret that I'm in love withthe cover of Flame in the Mist. I have been obsessed with this cover ever since it was released and I'm so excited to share my thoughts with all of you about this book soon!

This cover reminds me of classic fairy-tale books, combined with the design of Russian jewelry boxes. I really hope that the final version of this is really shiny because I can just imagine the gold lettering and figures glowing against the dark cover . . . *flails*

I still haven't gotten a chance to read anything from Laini Taylor, but I've heard such great things about this one that it is definitely on my wishlist! I'm in the middle of read Flame in the Mist right now, and I'm really enjoying it. The cover for it is super gorgeous

I loooooooved this book! I know you struggled with it and I totally get that - it's not a book for everyone, and I think people loved it or disliked it. I've really enjoyed several of Taylor's books, but I think this one is my favorite. It is the perfect book for a reader. <3 Wonderful giveaway, Brittany! Thank you and BHM and LB!

LOVE Laini Taylor! Her writing is absolute magic and I can't wait for The Muse of Nightmares next year :)

As for beautiful covers, there are so many great ones this year. You touched on a lot of my favorites, but I want to add just a few more: Forest of a Thousand Lanterns, An Enchantment of Ravens, Mask of Shadows, Godblind, and The White Road of the Moon. :)

I'm really excited for Forest of a Thousand Lanterns! It's one of my most anticipated books of the year. I've heard amazing things about Mask of Shadows and I'll look into the others you mentioned. I'm horrible with titles and names in general, so it's possible I've heard about them and/or they're on my TBR already and I just don't remember. But either way, thanks for the recs and for stopping by!

I have been waiting for Strange the Dreamer for so long. But I have to wait a little longer for when I have time to read it. My favorite book of Laini Taylor's is Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It's what got me obsessed with her books.

So many pretty cover. Having me near so many pretty covers is a dangerous situation for my bank account haha. I can't wait to read Strange the Dreamer, I've been gawking at the book since it arrived. I also can't wait to get my hands on Flame in the Mist, A Crown of Wishes and The Language of Thorns.

I haven't read Strange the Dreamer, yet, but it's on my TBR and I so can't wait until I get the chance to get around it to. And I adore the covers for Flame in the Mist and The Language of Thorns both are so gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway and great post, Brittany! :)

I hope when you do read it that you love it! And yes, Flame in the Mist and The Language of Thorns both have wonderfully covers, and I know that Flame has a beautiful story wrapped up in that gorgeous cover and I have no doubt that it's the same for The Language of Thorns.

I am very excited for Strange the Dreamer. I have heard nothing but amazing things about this book. I have never read anything by Laini Taylor, sadly. Since I never read anything by Laini Taylor, I don't have a favorite book by her.

I'm so excited to read Strange the Dreamer! After reading the synopsis here finally- I understand the title better. I absolutely love both the US and UK covers. I have hardback The Daughter of Smoke and Bone boxed set sitting on top of my bookshelf waiting for me to binge the series. I'm trying to catch up with popular series I haven't rear this year and that's at the top of my list. Thanks so much to you and Little Brown for having the giveaway! My daughter has a moth obsession and would love the pin(I would too!) Everything looks great but especially Strange the Dreamer! :)

I haven't read the synopsis because in general I stay away from them when I know I want to read the book. The covers for this book are absolutely stunning! And same re: The Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I've had the trilogy on my shelf for years but I have yet to read them.

I honestly can't wait to get to read this book. its so high up on my tbr list! I loved the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy. Laini Taylor's writing just sucks you in and doesn't let you go. this giveaway is amazing btw (:

AHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BOOK I'M SO SO EXCITED. I mean, I know it's already out in Australia but I still haven't gotten around to reading it. Because #slack. But it's sooo pretty. 😍 And omg I love the covers you've listed too. Also The Language of Thorns tho. *shrieks from the hilltops*

I love your cover choices! I have read some positive reviews for Strange the Dreamer and I am excited to give it a try. I don't think that I have read anything by this author and I need to change that! <3

I'm super excited for Strange the Dreamer but I might end up listening to the audio book for it since I had a hard time reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone when it was release but I really loved the book at the time so I might try to go back to the series again.

I haven't had the time to read Strange the Dreamer yet, but I need to do it soon. And the cover's so pretty. I think my favorite cover right now is the one for Odd & True by Cat Winters. It's creepy and beautiful. I also really like the cover for ACOWAR. :)
